Today, I will be seen by Dr. Ward, Grand Strand Surgeon, who performed the operation on my ailing meniscus tear. My knee has been improving, although, I am a little impatient with my walk. I have been unable to put much weight on it. I have been continuing with workouts and biking to maintain my energy and fitness. Just in the last few days, I have been limping considerably less, I remain hopeful and on target for a return to sports. Realistically, my knee has progressive arthritis and little can be done about it. Although,on a positive note, I had some bone spurs removed from my knee, I do feel the difference in the freedom of movement. Today, I will be asking some questions of the doctor. What are the recommended exercises? Cautions? Pros and cons? I will journal the results in upcoming blogs. I am keeping my freeze wrap available to me as needed. It helps with inflammation and brings needed oxygen to the knee. Your best wishes and positive thoughts are appreciated.
